Why BlackHawk Paramotor is #1…

Many factors have allowed BlackHawk to achieve such great success – the primary factor being our “Complete Paramotor Package Deals.” Mike Robinson of BlackHawk commented: “It comes down to simple economics. We sell more Powered Paragliding equipment than anyone, therefore our prices can be lower than anyone. Being a domestic manufacturer is also important. Customers aren’t paying thousands of dollars more for import costs or dealer fees. Availability of parts is another important thing to consider. We don’t want customers to miss the flying season while waiting months for a simple part to arrive from Europe. 99% of our customers have the same simple desire… To be safe, and fly “low & slow.” You will not find a safer, more modern, or more affordable Powered Paraglider anywhere else.

The Team of Teams…

Every single person involved in the company has been hand-selected. Not just for their unique and professional skills, but for the “presence” they bring to the team. Each Team Member also must represent the company’s values and unwavering integrity at all times. Our Instructors and dealers have made Powered Paragliding a way of life. Our Team Mechanics and Maintenance Specialists take pride in achieving perfection when building a motor. Every procedure is done with full attentiveness, as they take the personal safety of customers very seriously. Our Sales and Marketing Team have been trained to provide simple, honest advice in an easy-to-understand format. When customers call BlackHawk, they can expect usable information – not a “sales pitch.” All BlackHawk Team Members are pilots who have taken their love for this sport to the next level. We are all a close family here, and wouldn’t have it any other way!

The BlackHawk Customer Experience:…

In addition to value, the other key component that has helped make BlackHawk #1 is our customer service. Our goal is to ensure every customer is promptly taken care of, issues are resolved quickly, and that a generous amount of time is allotted to ensure every question is answered. Exceptional customer service starts from the moment a customer calls, and doesn’t end once the sale is completed. Post-sale customer support is what earns the continued business of repeat customers. We are all about “relationship-based sales.” Many of the customers who purchased a Paramotor when the company started are now bringing their children to the BlackHawk Ranch to continue the journey. We want our customers’ business for life and work hard to earn this. Don’t just take our word for it… Give us a call anytime and see for yourself! We are here to help. Remember: “It’s YOUR time… What are YOU going to do with it?”

Testimonials

I struggled when trying to decide whether or not to spend the money on a floatation device for my paramotor. When I learned that the number one killer of paramotorists is drowning, I decided that even on the off chance that it would ever be used, it was well worth the roughly $300 investment. I ended up purchasing the 2besure Powerfloat system from Paratoys.com.

I flew around water quite a bit prior to installing the floats. Because of this, I had practiced in my head over and over how I would react if I did somehow end up in the water. I told myself that I would be calm, unbuckle my legs and chest and get away from my unit. After installing the Powerfloats, one day I was flying low over a lake. Unfortunately, I got distracted for one second. That was all it took. The next thing I knew I was crashing into the water. All the practicing in my head went out the window. Fortunately for me I had the flotation device installed. I don’t know what would have happened if I had not, but at the very least I would have lost $7K in equipment, but probably my life as well. Instead, I floated comfortably in my unit until help arrived. The Powerfloats were the best investment I ever made, and I will never fly without them again.

From the very first time I met Mike, I saw his dedication to this sport. His knowledge is vast, and he very generously shares it with us all. He taught me much and gave me the confidence I needed to get started in this sport. As a happy new pilot, I can absolutely recommend him for training.
